The Wrecking Crew

I learned so much from John and Tom and all of the singers. In the 70s there were few, if any, who could compare with their talent and singing acumen. As a singer I was naïve and raw when I met them. I learned so much from them. It was an education in background singing and harmonies. I was always enhanced by their remarkable educated talent. I will be eternally grateful for what I learned from them. God Bless you Tom and your brother John and Jackie and all the others who made my life so wonderful. I will never forget you.

David’s message above was in reply to a message from Thomas Bähler, posted by Thomas on his Facebook page:

Someone brought this special [The Partridge Family – The Complete Story] to my attention this morning – it is a sweet journey down memory lane – I had no idea that “I THINK I LOVE YOU” was the number 1 selling single in 1970 – beating out The Beatles “LET IT BE” – WTF – for us it was another gig – a very pleasant experience working with good friends and making new friends – loved working with Jackie Ward and Ron Hicklin and my brother John Bähler – we sang together almost daily – David Cassidy is one helluva singer blessed with great talent and commensurate work ethic – Mike Melvoin – arranged the tracks, performed by The Wrecking Crew – my brother John did the majority of our vocal charts and I did the rest – it was a great experience – love to all

Kelly Hennessa a local teacher at Centreville High School and her son were in a terrible car accident last year in Virginia.

She was in a coma for two months, her son was in a coma for about a week.
To help Kelly recover while she was in the coma, Kelly’s husband Greg would play his wife’s favorite David Cassidy songs for her, especially “I Think I Love You.” He says he could see a small grin when he did.
It worked, she came out the coma.
Friends and family spread the word and David Cassidy’s managers got word and made her dream come true.
Sunday night, Kelly met David Cassidy before his show in Alexandria, Va.
This is the second time Kelly saw David Cassidy play live at the Birchmere.
